Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to sit in specially designated area of Stamford Bridge for Chelsea clash as he serves third game of touchline ban

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is expected to sit in a designated location in Stamford Bridge's East Stand during Saturday's Premier League clash at Chelsea as a result of his touchline ban.

The usual location for a manager banished from the technical area would be the directors' box, which at Stamford Bridge is in the West Stand.

However Wenger will sit in the East Stand to allow him the permitted access to his players, before, at half-time and after Saturday's match.
